About Us
CVFWI seeks to empower workers to improve their quality of life by providing them with healthcare and educational resources and by advocating for their well-being.
We recognize the tremendous contribution the farmworkers make to our agricultural economy and we welcome them as an integral part of our community. Partnering with service agencies, medical providers, churches, growers, and local businesses, CVFWI is a community- based organization on the deepest level.
We are located in Nelson County, Virginia
Our Services
Building trust and community
Through CVFWI’s twice-weekly outreach visits to migrant farmworker communities, we have fostered a close relationship with the farmworkers and are honored to act as a trusted resource. During these visits, workers have the opportunity to share their needs and interests with CVFWI. Health advocacy, preventative screenings and the digital divide are areas that the workers have chosen as priorities.
